Instructions

  1. Place the mozzarella in the refrigerator overnight, so that it is cold and firm.
  2. Cut the mozzarella into pieces about an inch high and a little bit shorter , more or less, than the length of your leaves.
  3. Make lemon leaf sandwiches with the mozzarella and leaves.
  4. Heat a frying pan until smoking hot.
  5. Gently place the lemon packets on the pan, letting the leaves blister.
  6. After about a minute or two, gently flip over and let the other side blister.
  7. Carefully take out of pan, place on oven proof sheet and finish under the broiler for about 3 minutes so that the cheese is truly melted.
